Merry Christmas from Chiron Beta Prime

It is Christmas season, and you know what that means: Instead of radio stations playing standard rotations of 5 pop songs on repeat, they play their rotations of 5 Christmas songs on repeat. YEAH!

So instead, why not listen to a catchy Christmas song set in the future? (Don't worry, you don't need to buy it, Jon offers the song for free. I'm sure he'd be happy with more money though)

If you would like visuals with it, I'm sure some YouTube goods will help out.

Free Army Advertisement Music

There's a great series of TV ads that the Army shows. What makes them great for me is the inspiring symphonic goodness playing as the action goes on.

It turns out the song is called "Army Strong" and it is freely available for downloading at the United States Army Bands MySpace page if you have an account set up with MySpace. If you don't want the hassle of that, you can also download the mp4 at the U.S. Army Field Bands Listening Room. But don't let them con you into getting QuickTime just so you can play the song. (It is official: QuickTime is now higher up on my devil list than MySpace). Just use VLC and don't regret a thing, since it already comes with all the codecs it needs.


On a side note, you might wonder why QuickTime is ranked higher on the "things-I-hate" list. It is simple. If I need a MySpace account, I can use a throwaway email address to get what I need and am then done. QuickTime, on the otherhand, would have to be installed on my machine, and I've had it up to HERE [raises hand to neck level] with it asking me to buy QuickTime Pro.

It's about time: Singing a Song

I planned to put this video on YouTube for quite some time. Around six months, to attach a number to it. Why so long? Procrastination, mostly. But also the realization that prospective employers tend to search the Internet for peoples' names, just like the rest of us.

I then realized that nobody cares. I also already have a job. So it's all good. Enjoy!
